Fuel Bladder Test Site – U.S. Army YPG
Testing of fuel bladders at the US Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) resulted in the release of thousands of gallons of fuel and extensive soil contamination. GCE was subcontracted to complete the Remedial Design/Remedial Action Plan for the in-situ remediation of the soil contamination on site. The site characterization and geophysical data was evaluated to select the optimum remediation technology for the site. The volatility of the soil contaminants and the soil permeability were ideal conditions for Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE). The Remedial Design/Remedial Action Plan concluded that SVE was the preferred remediation technology for the site. In addition to the remediation efforts, GCE was tasked with the design of three concrete pads for the Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) remediation equipment. The design criteria included sizing the pads for equipment and maintenance activities, elevating the pads above existing well heads, incorporating an earthen ramp to facilitate placement or removal of the SVE units, and protecting the equipment from erosion by the surrounding washes. After DoD and ADEQ acceptance of the design, GCE provided construction oversight, construction staking, materials testing, inspections, final construction report, and as-built drawings. The remediation system is currently in operation at the facility.
